The Thames Path is perfect for family fun and spending quality time with your loved ones.  In a world increasingly reliant on technology it is also great for our little ones to see the adults switch off the TV, put their phones down and go outdoors.

Whether you want to walk and explore, or sit and devour a picnic, or perhaps play or create some art, you’ll have no end of perfect spots to pick from.

Spark your curiosity by checking out the ideas below –

  • Check out our list of family friendly walks here: Family Walks
  • Games and Treasure Hunts. Eye spy is a classic, or why not create your own treasure hunt?
  • Picnics. Why not pack up some treats and head out for a picnic and some chill time with your family! While there you could play some games, take part in a nature hunt, or create some art together.
  • Nature themed art and craft  – Check out these amazing craft ideas from the Woodland Trust – leaf crafts. 
  • Create a sensory box – collect leaves/ pinecones, sticks, pebbles. Describe how they feel, look, smell. Do any match? Are any similar colours? Remember not to pick living leaves or flowers. It’s always a good idea to wash your hands afterwards too.
